A Reader's Guide to the Comprehensive Models for Preparing Elementary Teachers.

Burdin, Joel L., Ed.; Lanzillotti, Kaliopee, Ed.

This publication is intended to serve as a guide to nine elementary teacher education models financed by the U. S. Office of Education in 1968. The authors of the models, gathered at a 2-day conference in April, 1969, wrote the nine summaries of their models which appear in this guide. Each summary is similarly organized (except one not written at the conference) and presents information about model goals; selection procedures; preservice, professional, academic, and inservice components; faculty; evaluation; and management. An index at the end of the guide cross references similar concepts in the model summaries, such as behavioral objectives, individualized instruction, behavioral specifications, and a systems approach to teacher education. The guide also includes a transcript of a discussion among the writers about certification, institutional change, inservice programs, and other concerns of teacher educators. Related documents (including the nine models from Florida State University; Michigan State University; Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory; Syracuse University; Teachers College, Columbia University; and the Universities of Georgia, Massachusetts, Pittsburgh, and Toledo) are Ed's: 018 677, 025 456-7, 024 490, 025 491-2, 025 495, 026 301-2, 026 305-31, 027 268, 027 276, 027 283, 027 284, 027 285-7, 029 813, 030 631, 031 460.
